Capresso coffee maker displays a descaling or CLEAN indicator that will not clear after cleaning.

Safety first: Unplug before extended cleaning.

Steps:

• Follow manual reset steps: Many Capresso models require holding a specific button (e.g., CLEAN or BREW) for several seconds after descaling to reset the indicator. Refer to your user manual.
• Complete full cycle: Ensure you ran the entire descaling and rinse cycle as described, including the required number of rinse tanks.
• Power cycle: Unplug the machine for 5–10 minutes, then plug back in and attempt the reset again.
• Descale again if needed: If the machine still indicates scale, run another descaling cycle; heavy buildup may require multiple treatments.
• Control issue: If the indicator never clears, the control board’s timer or sensor input may be faulty and may require board replacement.
